Sent him a 10" RTC peru sold as 8" via aquabid.com for $50!! he *****ed about shipping so he opted to ship GROUND UPS , i told him fine 18$ I WILL NOT INSURE LIVE ARRIVAL...sure enough ups destroys my box(sytro coooler from seagrest with 1" corner protectors in all corners, triple bagged, styro and newspaper/peanuts) before even getting to my hob one state away about 30 miles...i picked it up, demolished box... i tell the guy and show him the tracking and all the info. he demands a refund...or will open a claim, i was clear on my terms, guy spent $50 on a fish but wouldnt spend $40 on shipping..opted on 1/2 price... i replied this is why i would not insure it, i worked in college for ups, i know what goes on, i was a supervisor...he made it out like i am a horrible business man and blatently did this....
vendors come on fill me in...10" RTC $50, $20 shipping (your own risk MA-NY) jesus what am i thinking right???
what would you guys do?
right now is where we become businessmen or stand by our terms, i feel, i dont want the bad press, even though he was aware, but in one ear out the other to him, so i A send him another eat the cost of the fish, ship fede try to charge him for at least the shipping, which he will not be happy about, or say hey you knew the terms... im sick of the pissing and moaning we get...do we make good or try to put our case out in public if they try to retaliate ,even knowing the terms...
My lawyer also my uncle said screw him, legally it stands im in the right not to do anything. again though one mouth tells ten mouths...its not a big deal and ill prolly eat it cause of the stress ill prevent, but what if this was a large sale, i.e. tiger ray, tigrinus or a BR ray???
just venting a bit and seeing where you guys stand...we all are here working side by side we all have our "loyals" no reason this forum "vendors only" shouldnt be rocking a bit more...
